CHILI CREAM CHEESE DIP

This dip is tied with our buffalo chicken dip for the most frequently made dip in our house. Why?

1)It only has 2 ingredients: chili and cream cheese. So easy.
2) It’s delicious. I mean the effort to taste ratio is HUGE.

in 2005, I was 8 months pregnant with my first son and working at a forensic software company. The company had probably 40 workers and out of those only 5 of us were women. I was used to working with mainly men since majored in Computer Science. Computer programmers are a distinctive genre. They are sweet and kind, and usually shy. 
 
Anyway, out of the blue they threw me a surprise baby shower at work. They gave me a ton of presents and my gorgeous crib that has survived three kids and still looks amazing.

OH and the food…three tables of anything a pregnant women could imagine (the perk of having a co-worker that also had a catering business on the side). I remember that the first food to be devoured was this dip that they had in a crockpot shaped like a football.

Every since then we bust it out when we are up late playing cards with our friends or watching a game. During the Super Bowl you definitely don’t want to be spending all your time in the kitchen…so here you go!
